SDK Released Today. When Will We See Apps?

[domness]

I'm lost so is there no sdk out for the public? how do you get it? what's going on?

The SDK is available to the public.

EDIT - And the thing is, I don't even have a Leopard so I'm not going to be able to create any apps anytime soon..

From the sounds of it there is nothing to stop people using the SDK to install applications onto their iPhone for their own use right now (well - once the server recovers from the tidal wave of download requests).

No, you can get the SDK and test on the iPhone simulator, but to load apps on a local iPhone to test you have to pay $99, which also allows you to submit your app to the App Store to be sold.

If they didn't prevent that, then anyone could just download the SDK and compile apps, which defeats the whole "gatekeeper to prevent malicious/broken software" thing.

The SDK is available to the public.

And the download server is getting HAMMERED by requests...

Or it's not actually allowing anyone just yet (unless you go through HTTPS)..

Just to clarify, we won't see ANY changes to the iPhone until June? Nothing? Push, etc...?
